What are you streaming on Amazon, Netflix, etc?

Happy Gilmore 2, Netflix. Loved it, better than most sequels.
Wicked, Prime. Meh, really didn't care for it. Not sure what everyone was raving about.

 

we restarted Star Trek Strange New Worlds on Paramount+
There is a couple characters that annoy me but it's ok overall.

 

This is Tom Green. On Prime.
Surprisingly good. I wasn’t a huge fan of his during his prime but I appreciate this movie.

I also wasn’t a huge Happy Gilmore (Or Sandler) fan but the second movie was pretty good IMO.

“Hey goat go out for a pass.” Ha!

 

Glengarry Glen Ross (1992). Prime. Excellent cast. Although devoid of action sequences, the confrontational dialogues are sharp. Pacino was the sole oscar nominee but it should have been Lemmon.

Head (1968). Tubi. #33 on Rolling Sones’ list of 101 best movie soundtracks. Features the Monkees and I can see why it bombed at the box office.

Rock Around the Clock (1956). Tubi. Now how did this film not make it on Rolling Stones’ best movie soundtracks? RATC is in good company because also noticeably absent are La Bamba and The Wall. RATC features Bill Haley & The Comets, The Platters, Freddie Bell & His Bell Boys, and others. Considered the first full-length rock'n'roll movie, it created a sensation worldwide among the youth. The plot is a bit dorky but it is a good watch overall.

 

Watching the original Detective Morse. It's different. Old school. The new one is so slick with clues. This one just showing him finding stuff but the reasoning is murky.

Hawaii thing with Jason Mamoa. Skeptical. Were the women fighters too?

 

Melancholia (2011). Tubi. Similar in concept with Another Earth, which also released in 2011 but on a shoe string budget of about 100K compared to Melancholia’s 7 million. I liked Another Earth over Melancholia..

Under The Silver Lake (2018). Tubi. A bit quirky but entertaining. The unresolved question - who is the dig killer? Sam?

 

Ballard was definitely a spin-off from Bosch. Lots of cameos. Season was good. Much better than expected. Final Ep was kinda dumb, but they needed to set up the next season.

Started Goliath on Prime. First Season was very good. Throw Suits, Land Man and Bosch in a blender.
Second season is starting slow.

 

Inspector Morse (old show). We gave up. It got really redundant and formulaic. Morse tries and kisses someone involved in the crime. He just comes off as a drunken horny lazy bastard.

Hawaii thing (Warrior King? King of Wars??) - Apple TV - it's stupid, but violent.

 

Newest Season (4) of BMF on Starz

 

The Knick on HBO MAX.

 

Loved that show, it's a shame that Cinemax cancelled it after 2 seasons...had a lot of potential

 

The Gilded Age on MAX.

 

Yeah seems really good so far. Apparently not good enough though

 

It was a good show just on the wrong network. There was talk about it continuing under HBO for a bit but unfortunately Soderbergh decided to do another project

 

Ludwig on Prime Britbox. OK yeah interesting detective twist! Strange circumstances have twin brother subbing for real detective. Brother is some kind of nerd genius introvert who nails cases in fascinating ways. Actors are a bit irritating but plot and writing is decent.

 

Ashes and Diamonds (1958). HBO Max. Well done Polish film, noir style; About end of WWII in Poland and a resistant’s soldier sent to assassinate a town’s communist candidate for office.

Bonnie and Clyde (1967). OK. Multiple Oscar nominee but, except for Dunaway’s performance, just not impressed with the film. This was Gene Wilder’s film debut.

 

Tried watching the new War of The Worlds. Complete garbage. Wow. Awful. Shut down in 10

 

I tried too, made it about the same length of time. The internet seems to be of the same opinion as well.
Rotten Tomatoes Top Critic Review;
"It is silly, shoddy and features far too much of rapper-turned-leading man Ice Cube staring at a computer screen while looking as if he's working through a reasonably urgent digestive ailment."

 

Holy shit laughing here. I actually felt sorry for the guy!

 

Grizzly Man on Prime

I had heard about him and what he had been doing, but never saw the doc.
